i was considering a carbon fiber build one daybut its a lot of hassle for just 1 scooterbut i did have the idea of molding 10 replacment bodies for my 1000w scooterand sell most of them on ebay (should be nice little earner)

iv got the carbon il do a build after the eco scootits not about the cost but the experience.(but steel is a lot more easy to work with and changes are easyly done i just fanci a change if its a fail its a failif not then its smile time)

The only exception to this rule is the shunt mod on the E200/E300(S). All you need is a piece of wire. I do concur though that the best mods for any scooters require some aftermarket parts - stock can only take you so far.

Right, though it also allows that controller to access a larger portion of the batteries' stored power, thus increasing range by an appreciable amount(approx. 4* in my case). Though a better solution would be lithium batteries and a new controller.
